Sean Payton is gone (for the next few months) but not forgotten in New Orleans.

Ed Werder reported that the Saints took their team photo this weekend and left a spot open in the front row to honor the suspended coach. Team members also wore visors, an homage to Payton's headgear of choice.

They should have taken it a step further and all looked the other way too.
